It is hilarious how America is suiciding itself at multiple levels with its latest dick-wagging:

  • It's seriously pissing off its allies and pushing neutrals away.
  • It's showing the US' force projection capabilities as a much smaller and weaker stick than they have been boasted as being.
  • It's acceleraring the move away from Oil and the USD status as Reserve Currency is linked to Oil trade and when it ends, well, Helloo hyperinflation!
  • It's acceleraring the move away from Oil when the US is commercially doubling down on Oil, which means that the US is stuck in a commercially fast shrinking market and in developing yesterday's Technologies.

IMHO, we are right now living the end days of an Empire, something that even in the Modern Era only seems to happen maybe once a century.
